(Eph. 3, 8–21; Mark 11, 23–26) If you do not forgive others the sins against you, then your heavenly Father will not forgive you your sins, said the Lord. Who doesn't let others go? A righteous person or one who recognizes himself as righteous. Such a person has no choice but to judge and pronounce only sentences and demand the execution of the guilty. Whoever feels like a sinner, who cares about others? He will not dare to condemn another and demand satisfaction from him, when his conscience constantly denounces him and constantly threatens him with the righteous judgment of God. So, isn't it better to sin than to be righteous? No, be zealous for righteousness in every possible way; but with all your righteousness, realize that you are an unbreakable slave, and realize that you have an undivided thought, i.e. It’s not that the thought of being inclusive is in front, and the feeling of righteousness is hiding behind, but with full consciousness and feeling, have yourself inclusive. When you reach this (and you must reach this, for it is not acquired suddenly) - then, no matter how much your brother has sinned against you, you will not seek retribution, because your conscience will repeat: “You are not worth it, this is not enough for you,” and you will forgive; and having forgiven, you yourself will be worthy of forgiveness. So all your life: forgiveness for forgiveness, and at the trial you will be forgiven for this. You might be interested in:
